L: Poured from a tallboy can to a snifter glass. Had a yellowish color and a very cloudy consistency. There was a half inch of foamy, somewhat long-lasting head. Above average lacing.

S: A fair aroma of hops, citrus fruit, a grassy quality, tropical fruit, a floral quality, and malt.

T: Tasted of a bit of the grassy quality (never welcome), some tropical fruit (papaya, mango), a decent shot of hops (more than expected), a little of the floral quality, some citrus fruit (orange), and light malt notes (mostly in the finish). An odd flavor that doesn't hit on all cylinders. Some of the elements (the grassiness) are unwelcome, but others work alright.

F: A well-carbonated beer with a smooth, dry finish. Medium-bodied.

O: An unfocused beer, but not bad. Worth a look.

From the bottom of the can: "CANNED ON 06/27/2019"

Appearance: The body is a pale burnished yellow that is opaque. The head is substantially large, pure white, both fluffy and creamy, with outstanding head retention and lacing. It's a picture perfect beer.

Aroma: At first there is a bit of grapefruit but that is swept away by the aroma of alcohol. There is a light scent of plastic that comes in and goes away. The plastic aroma isn't around much but when it pops out it throws a few flags.

Taste; The beer is very grassy. It tastes a bit like the way ragweed smells. There is a lot of earthy flavors but mostly dirt and mud. It has a bit of a daisy taste.

Mouthfeel: The body is smooth but very bitter. The beer is difficult to drink.

Overall: The front of the can says "TROPICAL | CITRUS | MANGO" and I have no idea what the brewer was drinking. This beer has a lot of character but it is not what I would describe as "tropical" or pertaining to "citrus" in any form. What starts out as a very nice looking beer, ends up in disappointment. I recommend against it and I wouldn't drink it again.
